Auburn council grants update to EMS company’s agreement with city

Ambulance service rates will soon rise in Auburn as the city council voted Thursday to amend the city's agreement with TLC Emergency Medical Services.

Thursday's amendment is the first update to TLC's agreement since 2013. Before the update, TLC had been in a 5-year deal with the city. When the five years passed, and prolonged negotiations over a new agreement were still continuing, council voted to extend the 2013 agreement three times.
